Green-thinking couple Kimberly and Kevin were keen to create the perfect rustic winery wedding that left a minimal footprint.<\/p>\n

Kimberly, 35, says they wanted a warm, fun and meaningful wedding at Peterson House<\/a> in Pokolbin, in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey share our commitment to sustainability and fit in with our theme of a native Australian, rustic and eco-friendly wedding,\u201d the bride says of the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have a large solar power system, a commitment to sourcing local produce and have banned single- use plastics in their restaurant. The Peterson House wines were also a major plus!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimberly and Kevin, 33, wed on March 2, 2019 in the venue\u2019s new sandstone chapel before guests enjoyed drinks and lawn games in the vineyard.<\/p>\n

The reception was held in the venue\u2019s stone house, with styling by the bride and groom.<\/p>\n

\u201cKevin designed the menus and the native greenery and wooden styling incorporated our love for the great outdoors,\u201d Kimberly says.<\/p>\n

The Baker Boys Band<\/a> ensured the dance floor was packed all night and the groom, a musician, also surprised the guests with a number of impromptu saxophone solos.<\/p>\n

The couple’s rings were sourced from Michael Hill<\/a>, with Kevin popping the question while hiking the Arctic Circle Trail in Greenland. “We then had to carry the ring carefully for the rest of the hike, including through a number of precarious river crossings!” Kimberly says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
